Hamburg Language & Culture

Overview

If you’re looking to organise a German language trip somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of a capital city, Hamburg is just right.

This diverse and vibrant city has an abundance of visits and attractions for your students to enjoy, offering a truly unique experience for aspiring linguists.

One of the most exciting events in Hamburg is the city’s weekly Fischmarkt.  If your trip falls on a Sunday, we’d strongly recommend stopping by.  Fish, fruits, flowers, clothing and souvenirs – you can find almost anything at this lively market, and it’s been an institution since 1703!

Our Suggested Itinerary
